Conditions

Painful conditions about the elbow can make it difficult to use the entire arm, whether we are trying to lift heavy objects or paint with fine brush strokes. Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, isn’t just limited to tennis players, and can severely affect our grip strength and hand function.

The hand and wrist are very unique and high-functioning parts of our body. Broken bones, or fractures, can cause a lot of disruption to our lives, even if only minimal treatment is required.

There are many types of arthritis that can cause pain and loss of ability to the fingers, thumb, hand, and wrist. Osteoarthritis, sometimes referred to as degenerative arthritis, as well as Rheumatoid Arthritis and other less common conditions can all be treated with medicines, therapy, or surgery.

Dr. Larson’s training at The Carolinas Medical Center, in Charlotte, NC - one of the country’s premier orthopedic residency training programs - has well prepared him for traumatic injuries to the lower extremity as well.
